According to a post on RAS GT Interactive’s historic Trans-Am sim has been delayed, for a bit longer this time. It is now due later this year, but it sounds like this could drag into 2000.
Here’s the reason given:
Yeah we are still a go, but things are taking longer than expected. Currently we’re targeting a release date towards the very end of ’99. It really isn’t uncommon for high-end simulations to take 2+ years in development, we were probably just a bit too ambitious in our initial release date.
